Based on the request of the Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria, Antonios Naguib, funds will be used to support the schools operated under the Patriarchate in both Alexandria and in Minya, a city which is about 150 miles (250 km) south of Cairo.

These schools are fundamental in favoring peace and respect among religions, as well as the development of the Egyptian people.

Quote on development in Egypt from Cardinal Naguib:

“I believe there is a real chance to initiate a process which will gradually lead Egypt to take its own position among the modern countries. A civil and democratic country based on laws, where the freedom of everyone is respected and where relationships between people are regulated on the basis of shared and common citizenship, with equal rights and equal obligations for all.”
